This wine displays an impressive range of aromas including notes of ash, tobacco and earth, accompanied by hints of blackberry, currant and fresh flowers. Full-bodied, its uniform tannins gently caress the palate, covering every corner. It stands out for its intense character of ripe berries, cherry, currant, and nuances of chocolate, walnut and light cedar. The finish is long, lingering on the palate for minutes. Despite its robust structure, it presents itself with exceptional elegance and refinement, simply magnificent. This vintage has achieved the maximum score of 100 points from both Robert Parker and James Suckling.
Château Margaux 1er Grand Cru Classé 2018 is a dry red wine of exceptional quality, composed predominantly of Cabernet Sauvignon (90%), complemented by Merlot (4%), Cabernet Franc (4%) and Petit Verdot (2%). Recognized as one of Bordeaux’s most iconic wineries, Château Margaux is located just east of Margaux in the Médoc region. Along with Lafite, Latour and Haut-Brion, it was classified as one of the first crus in the historic Bordeaux Classification of 1855, and is known to be one of the most elegant and expensive wines in the world.
The vineyards of Château Margaux are distinguished by a complex combination of soils unique to the region, including a calcareous clay base covered by a top layer of coarse and fine gravel, ideal for the cultivation of Cabernet Sauvignon, which accounts for approximately 75%. of the plantations. Merlot makes up an additional 20%, while the remainder is dedicated to Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. As is common with the best Bordeaux estates, the vineyard is densely planted with 10.000 vines per hectare.
